Alpha Republic: SWTOR crafting

Monday, December 28, 2015

Our New Year's resolution is this: we want to make it easier, and faster for you to order your next end-game armoring, mod, and enhancement from our guild. This is only for The Bastion server. We are not fully active in other servers.

Is It Really FREE?

Yes! We craft our items for free. All you need are the materials (mats) for your item. You can click into the link to see the torhead references and mats requirement for each item. We do ask for optional tips. Most customers give us extra materials or credits that they can afford.

How to Order?

STEP 1: Decide which item you want and click on the link below to see the mats requirement.STEP 2: You can order by mailing your mats to thelastdon (Republic). Make sure that you input in the name of your item. You'd be surprised how many people order without specifying the item.Imperials on the Bastion server can mail it to ice'ice'baby. Funny name, we know.Most orders are fulfilled within 3-4 hours, but return can take up to 24 hours.

Allied Crafters?

These are individuals that are not part of Alpha Republic, but support its mission and have committed to delivering products within 24 business hours. You can contact thelastdon for more information about how to be added to the alliance.

What We Can Craft[Click on link to see mats requirement.]

New ROTHC (Expansion - Level 55 gear)

If it does not list the crafter name, it means you can contact thelastdon directly.

The new rep vendor is greedy. Not only do you have to drop over a hundred dollars worth just to get to the rep -- you actually have to spend cartel market certificates on the majority of the items. In previous rep vendors such as the Bounty Supply Company, there were over 25+ items that could be bought purely with credits. In this release, there's less than half. Pure greed.

This set is just so boring... A lot of the items are too similar to what's available in the market. No special headgear like the Resplendent Crown of Avarice or unique sets like the BK-0 Combustion of old.

We love the game and we hope you take this feedback with an open mind.

Your user base is already spending hundreds just to get to max rep on these cartel vendors, so let them buy at least half the items without requiring certificates so it makes it less of a greedy 'cash' grind. Secondly, give us some uniqueness to these "cosmetic" stuff. We really do want to pay for it.

Purpose:
Reward people that were patient and kind to new PVP players in our PVP server. The winner will get 1.5m in credits!

The Setup:
We set out on a mission this weekend to find the most helpful PVPers in the Bastion. As you may know, plenty of players have left for one reason or another. But we wanted to test out who would be helpful, or provide guidance to new players, especially if they come on to the RWZ scene. These include players that may not be the best geared.

The winner:
Jiraya

Jiraya, a fellow smash monster, has been patient and actually would publicly say stop being mean to our 'new' player.

The loser:
Luxs

The screenshot explains below...

The online world often reflects real life in terms of people having bad attitudes. We're here to recognize those that keep this game alive and kicking through patience and kindness, thanks Jiraya for being an example of this!

I'm sure EA has marketing data that tells them who their audience is, and with that, they make decisions on how to market and increase the viability of Star Wars: The Old Republic.

This chart above shows what our FB data shows on the demographics of our guild fan base and membership. This also includes all visitors that consistently visit our page and didn't even 'like' us. The sample size is roughly 425 people.

Interesting facts:

In terms of age group, 36% fit into the 25-34 category.

The split between genders is 74% male to 25% female (is 1% other? Cathar?!?) So yes, if you ever thought the quiet cute female Jedi is actually a male...well, you do the math.

You miss those looks from the days of old? Most of these designs are no longer available and with the influx of new players coming on board - you're in luck to have your own unique items that are non-cartel. Contact thelastdon on the Bastion Server for more information.

About the Guild

The Alpha Republic is one of the original guilds from Star Wars: The Old Republic's (SWTOR) The Swiftsure server. It is a "closed" guild.

Born even before the beta phases of SWTOR, we primarily focus on three game areas: PVP (daily), PVE (weekly), and Crafting/Logistics. We originally came from The Swift Sure server and was merged with The Bastion server.
